Dread Guristas Fleet Staging Point 2 is an Expedition that can escalate from Dread Guristas Fleet Staging Point.

Walkthrough

The site is considerably harder than the unrated complex due to heavy neuting and webbing, as well as high DPS. Again, a fleet of T2, T3 or Faction Cruisers or a small group of Battleships is recommended for this site.

Warp-in

You land on a beacon.

Initial defenders

		WD	EWAR	L
	2 x Destroyer Pithior Guerilla/Renegade
	3 x Battlecruiser Pithatis Enforcer/Executor
	4 x Battleship Pith Usurper/Massacrer

Wave 2 triggers when the penultimate battleship in initial spawn is attacked.

Wave 2

		WD	EWAR	L
	2 x Sentry Guristas Energy Neutralizing Sentry II
	3 x Sentry Guristas Cruise Missile Batteries

Wave 3 triggers when the last battleship in initial spawn is attacked.

Wave 3 (20 km from acceleration gate)

		WD	EWAR	L
	2 x Elite Frigate Dire Pithi Destructor/Demolisher
	3 x Destroyer Pithior Guerilla/Renegade
	4 x Battleship Pith Conquistador/Destroyer

The Guristas Scout Commander does not have significant tank, like a regular Overseer Cruiser. Its wreck may produce T2 salvage materials, though.

Wave 4

		WD	EWAR	L
	3 x Destroyer Pithior Supremacist/Terrorist
	1 x Overseer Cruiser Guristas Scout Commander
	3 x Battlecruiser Pithatis Assassin/Assaulter
	2 x Battleship Pith Massacrer

Destroying the commander (and possibly, failing that, all ships) will trigger an escalation to Dread Guristas Fleet Staging Point 3. To blitz, then, kill battleships until the elite frigates spawn, then kill the Overseer cruiser.

Escalation trigger
The last Guristas Battleship sends out a distress signal before it goes down. Luckily your com systems have managed to decrypt the message and follow it to it's final destination.

The acceleration gate to the first pocket does not have to be used; the first pocket is optional, and only worth doing for extra bounties/salvage.

		WD	EWAR	L
	1 x Acceleration Gate

First Pocket

Only go in here if you want bounties/salvage. No escalation is triggered here.

Highly recommend destroying the stasis tower and neuting sentry first; they add a lot of difficulty to this room.
